Thanks to the municipality of L’Aiguillon-sur-Mer for allowing us to enjoy this little accessible and free corner of the peninsula. Beautiful scenery and absolute peace, except during the day. It is a shame there is no bin. You absolutely must take your rubbish with you when you leave.Translating
Many thanks to the municipality of L’Aiguillon for letting us enjoy the seaside. Respect the wildlife protection zones and savor the sunsets.Translating
Parking is fine, but plan on walking about a kilometer to the beach via a maintained sandy path. There are no signs prohibiting overnight stays, but swimming is marked as dangerous because of quicksand.Translating
Daytime parking, bird reserve. Dogs are prohibited. There are tide bins with buckets that can be filled with rubbish collected while walking on the beaches: a very good idea! Night parking is a little farther away along the roadside. Town is 10 km away.Translating
Haven of peace; we would have enjoyed a swim, but it is a little cool at this time of year. We will gladly return.Translating
Very beautiful place, but beware: dangerous area, 29 deaths in 2010 during Storm Xynthia.Translating
